I’d say that the biggest complained about food item for the outdoors is dried eggs. Not that this is a new issue – folks have been complaining for decades about how they suck. Modern trail cookbooks rarely call for eggs or tell you to pack fresh ones in, but if you start reading up the [...]

As seen on hiking forums are posters wondering what do with the Harmony House Backpackers Kit – which I might add you can find at most REI stores as well. (Though I might point out that I consider the Deluxe Sampler to be a better buy – it has more variety!) So what to do [...]

While I love to use dried eggs when on trips (and they have gotten a lot better in taste over the years!) I can say that there are certain recipes where fresh eggs just simply taste better. For example, lets say you get a sudden hankering for Chicken Fried Rice or for Spam-Tastic Fried Rice [...]

In the current issue of Washington Trails (September/October 2010) the theme was all about foraging and included a Foraging Article on it, including recipes as well from Langdon Cook. Our column, Trail Eats, featured two recipes that involved foraging. We added the Blackberry Green Beans recently: We have more up on Trail Cooking foraging for [...]
